Aulani Pre-Trip Report for May 2017

You guys are the best!

Yep, I have it all in super heavy Ziplocs, and even brought extras. But there is no room for water at all—weight and space are maxed. And I think we're going to get a big fridge container of water for refilling our reusable bottles, so better to buy that in HI.

I have tons of toiletries at home, so I did pack smaller bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, mouthwash (all in Ziplocs). But f I didn't already have it, I wouldn't be opposed to buying it there.

And I'm totally banking on the extra suitcase space for souvenirs!

I also have a beach bag packed for carry-on with our suits, cover-ups and flip-flops so we can be pool/beach ready upon arrival! I even tossed in a TSA size sunblock. Whoop-whoop!

It's pretty much impossible to focus on work at this point.

Agree on the water, we also got a big bottle for the fridge and didn't even use it all as we kept filling up our bottles (hydraflasks) with the fruit water from the pool/lobby!

Fruit water! Yes! Definitely will do that.

Welp... We're back. Post-trip depression is deep! But I posted a TR: https://www.disboards.com/threads/aulani-trip-report-may-11-16.3605690/

Thank you to all of your comments on this pre-trip report! It was a huge help to me, and I really appreciate it!
